New plan for LAPD disclosure

Facing the threat of resignations from officers in anti-gang and drug units who hotly oppose plans to make them disclose personal financial information, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa proposed a compromise Tuesday that he says will protect officers' privacy. Daily News.

Under the compromise, a federal court order would be issued to prevent any financial information from being subpoenaed by criminal witnesses.

The order would ensure privacy for officers and meet the terms of a federal consent decree provision designed to root out corruption among officers, the mayor said.
